KINDERGARTEN WINS.

A MARVELLOUS PERFORMANCE. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) AUCKLAND, April 13. The outstanding feature of the first day of the Auckland Racing Club’s meeting on Saturday was the marvellous performance of the three-year-old Kindergarten, in winning the Easter Handicap. At the six furlongs he was last but two with Brazen Bold, Bronwen. Black Thread, Sulieman and Monte Cristo at the head of the field. Kindergarten improved his position at the turn but did not get a good passage in the straight where Brazen Bold, who had tried to win all the way. was being acclaimed the winner. With a super effort, Kindergarten dashed through to win by a head from Brazen Bold in 1.37. Lord Ace fell when prominent at the turn and, breaking a leg, was destroyed. The weather was fine and cool and the track easy. The attendance was 23.000. The totalisator handled £BB,918. an increase of £B4OO on the first day last year. Results:—
